According to Batman-on-Film, Christopher Nolan is not a lock to sit in the Director’s chair for another visit to Gotham City!  You can read an excerpt from the article below and then visit the link above to check out the whole thing.

* The death of Heath Ledger in January of 2008 rocked Mr. Nolan hard. So hard that Chris was convinced that TDK was going to be it for him and Batman on film.

* The Joker was going to return in BATMAN 3.

* “You are correct in reporting that he is developing story ideas with [Jonathan Nolan] and David Goyer, but it will be until AT LEAST 2012 before we see the Caped Crusader back [in theaters]. And that is only an EARLY ESTIMATE at best right now. They are even saying it might not be until 2013.”

* Basically, the BATMAN film franchise is back to square one. As far as a story or a BATMAN 3, “Right now, there is none,” says our guy.

If Mr. Nolan doesn’t want to come back then, I say definitely start from scratch and create a Batman that will fit in with the current JLA theme it seems Warner Bros wants to go with. It will be hard to swallow at first because of the Gotham City and its citizens Christopher Nolan created though…
